Recipe - Food Processor Pasta Dough

1 Three fourths cup All purpose flour
2 lg Eggs; beaten lightly
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 One half tablespoon Water plus additional if
necessary

In a food processor blend flour, eggs, oil, and 1 One half tablespoons water
until mixture just begins to form a ball, adding additional water, drop by
drop, if dough is too dry. Dough should be firm and not sticky. Blend dough
15 seconds more to knead and let stand, covered with an inverted bowl, at
room temperature 1 hour.

Yield: 1 pound dough

TO ROLL PASTA DOUGH

Set smooth rollers of a pasta machine at highest number. Rollers will be
wide apart. Divide dough into 8 pieces and flatten each piece into a rough
rectangle. Cover rectangles with an inverted bowl.

Dust 1 rectangle with flour and feed through rollers. Fold rectangle in
half and feed through rollers 8 or 9 times more, folding in half each time
and dusting with flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Turn dial down one
notch and feed dough through without folding, turning dial one notch lower
each time, until lowest notch is reached and dough is a smooth long sheet
about 30 by 3 1/2inches. Roll remaining dough pieces in same manner.

TO CUT FETTUCCINE

Using blades of a pasta machine that will cut dough into 1/4inch wide
strips, feed one end of a sheet of dough through blades, holding other end
straight up from machine. Catch strips from underneath machine before sheet
goes completely through rollers and arrange cut strips across lightly
floured jellyroll pans or let them hang over tops of straight backed
chairs. Let strips dry 30 minutes.
